The extension takes advantage of the fact that the source port number in a full TCP/IP packet can be any value the originating host is not currently using. It also exploits the fact that (nearly) all the networking software will work with DNS. By using DNS and proxies the ENAT systems perform the address translation indirectly. For convenience the term ENAT will be used for the extended addressing scheme to distinguish it from the original. A ENAT system could be used equally for UDP/IP as well as TCP/IP. ICMP can be handled with restrictions.}, }
